Our first stop delivered several “only here” species and got
everyone eager to see more (and to land – no landings allowed at The Snares
though). The Snares Crested Penguin was the highlight, with lovely scenery
visible by Zodiac cruising, including an unexpected pass through a tunnel and
into a cave. The Snares Island Tomtit and Snares Island Fernbird were also
easily spotted multiple times from the Zodiac, most impressive given how
difficult it was for me to finally track down Fernbirds on the South Island –
they don’t like to fly much – just little pathetic efforts if that.
